Continue adding hexagons by sewing an edge at a time. When you're done, make sure all the loose edges have been sewn/secured to another.
First, attach the camera to the end of a pool-cleaning pole with a Gorillapod. I also put a cabletie around the camera strap and through the pole because I really didn't want my DSLR falling 20 feet into the pool.
step 1: ideas first
come up with a good picture of what you're going for. this one was my start:

all of my pattern pieces are made out of newspaper, though you can use butcher paper, tissue paper, old wrapping paper, anything big enough that you have.
step 2: make legs:
measure the distance from your armpit to your wrist, and make the pattern piece about that long. the bottom edge of the legs will be the long side, and the top edge the shorter side.
At this point, I like to trim the excess batting off, to make the batting & backing match the size of the quilt top. Sometimes I have to cut tiny little slits in the batting at the corners, so that any excess doesn't pile up inside the binding.
I only do one of the four sides at a time, usually. And then trim the batting again when I reach the next side, etc.
1. Soak in soapy water.
2. Transfer to mesh bag and rinse in bathtub.
3. Use laundry basket, lined with towel, to carry to living room.
4. Dump out on towels on living room floor, with fan blowing.

Sew the other edge of your project, making sure the seam allowance of your previous edge is sewn down too.

I've noticed a lot of people using photobucket on DoA lately and having trouble so I thought I'd make a tutorial for that too! Hope it helps!
Here you can see how you overlap the blue points and the ends of the brown lines so there is no skip/duplicate in the pattern when adding repeats of blocks. The original "21" row and column are replaced by the first row/column of two other repeats.
Afterwards coverer the rest of the cake with mmf/sugarpaste as you used to and just cut the excess mmf/sugarpaste, it will look a bit funny/anaccurate around the "neck part", but you can cover those imperferctions later
I've had so many people how to resize a photo, I finally made a video that shows you exactly what to do. I captured my computer screen as I went through the process of how to resize a photo using the fun, fabulous and FREE PicMonkey photo editing site. I hope y'all find this useful! Watch it here.

step 20: make a pattern for claws
place your hand on the newspaper and spread out your fingers. draw a circle that covers your entire hand, then use the circle edge to draw a crab claw shape. the bottom of the pattern piece is made by measuring the length around your wrist, since that's how the claw attaches. make the rectangular part an inch or so longer than your wrist measurement.
step 21: cut out claws
fold the fleece unevenly in half longways, so that one side sticks out about 4" from the other. when you cut it out, this means you have one piece that's just the claw, and one piece that's the claw with a rectangular 4" wide cuff attached. sew all around the curved edges, leaving the wrist end of the claw open. make sure you flip the pattern piece over to do the 2nd claw so you have a set going one in each direction!
Checking with pins to make sure the edges and points of each shape line up exactly before sewing (or after sewing, if you forgot to take a photo of that step earlier... oops)
